Project Abstract
The aim is to develop small, portable, easy to use, and robust biosensor platforms to monitor marine contaminants with high sensitivity and specificity, offering the ability to work on site and in a wide range of matrices. The bases for the development of the miniaturized sensors are chimera proteins endowed with both the adhesive properties of a self-assembling amyloid moiety and the recognition ability of specific proteins, such as:
FLAshMoB is funded by the MarTERA partners Italian Ministry of Education, Universities and Research (MIUR), French National Research Agency (ANR) and Spanish Centre for the Development of Industrial Technology (CDTI) and co-funded by the European Union.
